FQS 4(3) "Doing Biographical Research"

[Katja Mruck <mruck@zedat.fu-berlin.de>]

Dear All,

The 13th issue of the on-line journal FQS is now available at
http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-03-e.htm. "Doing
Biographical Research" is edited by Gerhard Riemann and deals with the
life story of Huelya, a female labor migrant from Turkey. As Robert Faux
-- an American colleague who accompanied the publishing process --
points out, "in this issue of FQS scholars from Japan, Poland, and
Germany share with us ... their interpretations of Huelya's narrative
interview. With Huelya's interview as the sole focus of interpretation
by these scholars we have before us a manifestation of the richness and
depth of qualitative research ... It is hoped that the contributions to
this issue will reveal to readers what insights and understanding can be
gained from other cultures, academic and others." And it is hoped that
you -- the readers of FQS -- contribute your own pieces of analysis or
your comments on the papers by offering your interpretations of Huelya's
narrative!

As always, in addition to articles, linked directly to the topic, you
will find selected single contributions, review essays and notes, and
two conference reports. 

We wish hopefully stimulating readings and discussions!

Katja Mruck
FQS Editor
